The Egypt Room - Richard & Linda Thompson

作词：Richard Thompson

作曲：Richard Thompson

Now Hobnail Kelly and the Beefcake kid

Just rolled into town from the

Land of sown-up faces

Looking for a woman who can

Punch and kick and bite

Slide on down to the Egypt room

Find the only woman who's

Holding all the aces

The Princess is dancing

At the Egypt Room tonight

Don't be late

Don't be late

Don't be late

She's a nightclub floosie nothing but a tramp

But she moves like a snake

And she shimmies like a fish in the ocean

She can fool with a man 'till

He doesn't know wrong from right

She's got diamonds flashing ruby rings

She sparkles like the Nile when

She does her original motion

The Princess is dancing

At the Egypt Room tonight

Now don't be late

Ah don't be late

Oh don't be late

The man with the cane and Italian shoes

He walks like a lion looking

For a lonely Christian

He peeps at the Princess and

His bloodshot eyes open wide

He says meet me princess after the show

I'm a gambling man and I think

I like your system

I'll see you at the back of

The Egypt Room tonight

Now don't be late

Oh don't be late

Ah don't be late
